Why Restaurants Are Banning Kids
On Tuesday, a Tampa Bay craft beer bar and pizzeria stuck a controversial sign on its doors. It read: "NO CHILDREN."
No, the owners of Hampton Station were not advertising their love of the classic Mountain Goats song; rather, they were implementing an informal kids ban. The backlash was extraordinary, reports WKRG.
"I definitely think that sales are gonna take a dip,” Hampton Station owner Troy Taylor told WKRG. "We had an incident last week where some kids were endangering themselves and others. I haven’t got much sleep the past four or five days really, because of this. ‘Cause this is my livelihood."

Barbie's boyfriend Ken gets a makeover: Cornrows, man buns and new skin tones
NEW YORK - He’s been overshadowed by Barbie for decades, but now Ken is finally getting some attention.
Mattel is introducing 15 new looks for the male doll, including different skin tones, body shapes and hair styles.
Barbie had a similar makeover more than a year ago, both part of the toy company’s plan to make its dolls more diverse and appealing to today’s kids.
Ken hadn’t changed much since he was introduced 56 years ago as Barbie’s blue-eyed, chiseled boyfriend. Now he’ll be sold in three body shapes: “slim,” “broad” and “original.”
He’ll have modern hairdos, such as cornrows and man buns, and come in seven skin tones. And he’ll also be sporting new fashions: think skinny ties, plaid shirts and graphic tees.

How Riots Affect The Environment
Riots can have negative impacts on the environment, particularly in urban areas. These impacts include increased pollution from debris, potential damage to natural habitats from fires or construction, and disruption to waste management systems. While riots primarily cause social and economic disruption, their effects on the environment, while often secondary, can be significant, especially in the immediate aftermath.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Pollution:
Riots can lead to increased pollution from debris, litter, and potential spills of hazardous materials. The destruction of infrastructure, such as vehicles and buildings, can release pollutants into the air and water.
Habitat Damage:
In some cases, riots can involve fires or other actions that damage natural habitats, especially in urban parks or green spaces. This can disrupt local ecosystems and displace wildlife.
Waste Management Disruption:
Riots can overwhelm waste management systems, leading to overflowing bins, litter accumulation, and potential health hazards. The disruption of garbage collection services can exacerbate these issues.
Long-term Impacts:
While the direct environmental damage from riots may be temporary, the long-term consequences can include increased risk of soil and water contamination, especially if hazardous materials are involved.
Focus on Social and Economic Issues:
While environmental concerns may be secondary to the immediate social and economic disruptions caused by riots, the long-term effects on the environment can be significant, especially in densely populated areas.

Meat eaters get hit hardest as inflation sees grocery bills soar
Milk is more expensive according to 51 percent of those surveyed; for prepared foods it is 50 percent of those questioned and for seafood 49 percent.
A quarter said they are buying less red meat as a result of the price hikes. Meat prices rocketed by up to 25 per cent last spring, during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, when meat plans were hit by staff shortages caused by the virus.
They subsequently dropped, but Bloomberg's data suggests shoppers are once again feeling the pinch.
Morning Consult economist John Leer told Bloomberg: 'We’ve got these pockets of inflation without having corresponding wage growth, and that’s going to put consumers in a really tough spot.'
For Hispanic and black Americans, more than 40 per cent report spending more money on food since the start of 2021. For white Americans that figure is 30 percent.

How Small Restaurant Owners Are Navigating the Labor Shortage
Every few weeks, it seems, a new photo goes viral on social media showing a sign in a restaurant window declaring: “This restaurant is closed because no one wants to work.” Restaurant owners have, for months now, been quoted in articles and TV news hits decrying the ongoing labor shortage, blaming the enhanced unemployment benefits enacted during the pandemic for disincentivizing returning to work.
But those benefits have expired in some states already — and some jobs data suggests ending them didn’t exactly lead to a wave of rehires.

Hollywood consumes half the oil from the Amazon rainforest
“The world has failed us,” Correa said in 2013 as he announced a lifting of the moratorium on oil drilling in Yasuní.
The move to drill hundreds of new wells in the national park requires the building of roads and other infrastructure that is likely to accelerate deforestation, environmentalists say. Construction of an initial road inside the park is now less than 1,300 feet from the “no-go” zone designed to protect the uncontacted tribes, according to the report.

My Brother Set Me Up on a Date With an Underage Girl
I am getting divorced from my wife. Last week, my younger brother (he’s 24, I’m 37) called me and said he’d met this woman at his job who was perfect for me. Then I turned up at the restaurant and she was clearly not in her thirties, and after I sat down and briefly spoke to her, she was clearly not an adult. I have no idea what to do next.

WHY IT’S ILLEGAL TO FEED THE HOMELESS IN CITIES ACROSS AMERICA
Volunteers made headlines Sunday when 12 of them were charged with misdemeanor offenses after feeding homeless people in El Cajon, California, but the ban against feeding the homeless is not unique to the city. Dozens across the United States have similar policies that ban food-sharing in public places.

THE ANTI-CIRCUMCISION CROWD TAKES A QUEER TURN
Yep, the foreskin will stand erect this pride month. It’s being hoisted by Intact America, the nation’s largest anti-circumcision group, which is dedicated to making the snipping of male infants an LGBT issue in addition to other queer planks such as ensuring protection in the workplace and ending the “trans panic” legal defense. The mission alignment is far from perfect, but gay men are among the LGBT community’s biggest supporters in terms of membership and donor ranks, according to Intact America executive director Georganne Chapin.

Critics of Ugly Male Romper Outfit Denounced as ‘Troubling and Misogynistic’ Bigots
A Kickstarter for a men’s romper, the RompHim, has raised nearly $300,000—and has prompted widespread mockery this week. But if you poke fun at the RompHim, you’re actually revealing your own masculine fragility, social justice warriors are now insisting.
Writing for Wussy, an Atlanta-based queer publication, Matt J. Jones says that “the torrent of femme bashing rhetoric that has followed [the RompHim] is troubling.” The memes satirizing the RompHim “still enforce gender roles and highlight acts of misogyny through veiled jokes,” he says.
“Yes, masculinity is fragile enough that an article of clothing, even gender neutral options, can shake people to the core. … Hopefully this bit of internet history goes silent sooner than later, and these gender hangups are just remembered as a sad weak moment of uber-masculinity gone awry,” Jones writes.

Study suggests young people hazy on what constitutes sexual assault — especially young men
People might be increasingly aware that sexual assault is a real and widespread problem, but that doesn't mean everyone knows what sexual assault actually means.
Adults — men, especially — are still somewhat hazy on what constitutes sexual assault, according to new data from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, in partnership with YouGov.
In an online poll, the NSVRC surveyed 1,221 adults over a two-day period in March. People largely seem to understand sex without consent is a problem, with more than 80% of respondents saying non-consensual sex and non-consensual touching were sexual assault.
Those numbers alone suggest a positive trend, but there's still work to be done — especially when it comes to educating men, who, according to the U.S. Department of Justice, are responsible for 80% of women's rape cases.
